    Embark on a captivating bike ride along the historic Homestead Pump House. As an essential feature of the Homestead Steel Works, it symbolizes Pittsburgh's industrial legacy. Learn about the labor struggles of 1892 while exploring the riverside routes. Discover the vital role of pump houses in cooling and transporting materials for massive industrial works along the Monongahela Valley. Experience the site where generations of steelworkers collected their wages and one of the deadliest labor confrontations in US history unfolded. The Pump House stands as a testament to Pittsburgh's dependency on rivers, mechanized power, and the resilience of its steelworkers.
      Nice landmark with parking next to the Great Allegheny Passage Trail.
